LONDON APPLE MARKET
HEAVY ARRIVALS TRADE FAIRLY SATISFACTORY (By Electric Telegraph —Copyright.) Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, June 19. Considering heavy arrivals, of apples ' tom Australia and New Zealand duri.iig the past three weeks, trade has been fairly satisfactory'. Prices have not given way to the extent some people anticipated. This is largely due to the cold rainy' weather checking growth at’ strawberries and other small fruits and the partial prohibition of the importa- 1 tion of French cherries. Owing to the prevalence of maggots of cherry' fruit fly, the Ministry of Agriculture forbids the importation of all cherries unaccompanied hv an official certificate that they come from a non-infectod district. Several recent Australian steamers brought a considerable number of wastv apples, which are only saleable at low prices; but good hard apples continue * to meet a satisfactory' demand.
